Governor Yang is indeed a little confused about how to go next, but...

The fruits that should be picked are still not hesitant.

On the second day of the Battle of Nanjing, the cavalry who were left behind by the left guards drove into Dangtu City amid the cheers of the people of Taiping Prefecture, and then captured Taiping Prefecture City and the gentry around them...

They are in a rebellion.

No matter how you explain it, the Datong Army was a rebellious party to the emperor.

These gentry conscripted civilians and men to the Datong Army, transported materials, organized group training to be auxiliary soldiers, and even presented all the Xuande furnaces at home to the Datong Army and cast cannons. Of course, the evidence of the crime of abdication is conclusive. Since abdication is contradictory, there is nothing to say.

House search.

The house must be searched.

Then the gentry of the entire Taiping Prefecture immediately wailed. At this moment, they had exhausted their power to support Zhang Mingzhen's attack on Nanjing, and they were also making a lot of scolding among the people, and they didn't even have the ability to resist. They could only watch the military households in Nanjing empty their homes. The grain was sent to Nanjing on the spot, and the common people had food and cloth. Then their cheers completely overwhelmed the gentry's wail. As for the latter's gentry's slaughter, all the deeds of the gentry's slaughter were burned. The amount of usury borrowed a large amount to send to Nanjing, and the amount was obviously the one that the poor could not afford.

At the same time, the land of the original landlord was distributed to the tenants and serfs in the name of imperial fields.

It's still the militia's.

Needless to say, those who had no livelihood sources, those who had no livelihood sources were recruited by Governor Yang...

Mining.

Ma'anshan Iron Mine.

Mining, iron smelting, charcoal burning, coking, and even processing of cooked iron sheets, tin plating, canning, fishery fishing and canning processing, these industries can absorb the unemployed population of the entire Taipingfu. If the fishery in the Yangtze River is not enough, it is also possible to raise fish. There are ponds everywhere in this area, and fish farming technology is actually very mature among the people, it is just a scale. After all, this area is not a coastal area that allows trawlers to fish for the fullest.

In short, Governor Yang will not let anyone have no source of livelihood.

Even including land reclamation.

The mountainous areas in this area have increased their cultivation, and in the past there was little development in the mountainous areas. After all, this area is rice, but now there are sweet potatoes, corn, etc., which are enough to expand into the mountainous areas.

On the same day, the cavalry under the banner of the left-behind Right Guard also entered Lishui in the same way.

It was better to catch all the local gentry in one go.

Then the same pattern.

Then there is Liyang.

However, Liyang did not send troops to Nanjing, but the Zhongyong Army of Jintan. As the emperor's personal soldiers directly under the Silijian, he had long mastered the crime of rebellion among the gentry of Liyang. The rest was just a net attack, and the whole army of loyal and brave troops surrounded Liyang. Poor Liyang's Tianxiong Army had long been wiped out and had no ability to resist. Just half an hour later, the poor people in the city opened the city gate, and then the Zhongyong Army rushed in and announced the revival of Liyang in cheers.

This word can indeed be used.

After all, this city was occupied by rebels before.

Then there is Zhenjiang.

"The Huwei Army would rather die than surrender!"

Ge Lin roared in grief on the wall of Zhenjiang.

Several officers beside him were also full of grief and anger, and there was even a sword-drawing look, looking at Li Zicheng with anger...

Well, Li Zicheng, who had just become the personal soldier of Governor Yang, was entrusted with an important task. On behalf of Governor Yang, he came to read an ultimatum to Huwei Army, demanding that they surrender immediately, and then hand over the Zhenjiang City they occupied, and handed over the city to the Zhongyong Army that came to take over. This is the execution of the emperor's imperial edict. Although Huwei Army did not abdicate, the imperial edict had to obey if it assigned Zhenjiang to Zhaoyi and others. This city already belonged to Zhaoyi and they had no right to continue to steal the occupation. Moreover, as a group training unit, the Huwei Army was not an army of the court. Governor Yang felt that such civilian armed forces violated the Ming army system.

Must be dissolved.

Poor at this moment, there are all exiled gentry in Zhenjiang City, Danyang, Jintan and other places. They regard this city as their last spiritual sustenance. Now the evil traitor is even taking away their last place.

They will have to wander on the land of their ancestors...

Although this is a bit exaggerated.

After all, they still have a land reclamation certificate.

But at this moment, they really had the urge to shout to the sky and shout to the sky, the earth, and they wanted to accuse Yang Xin of his crimes with their crying sounds.

Although this is of no use.

"Then we can satisfy your wishes, please look over there!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

While speaking, he pointed to the Yangtze River in the distance.

There were four battleships lined up in a row, with more than 100, 24-pound gun muzzles vaguely visible. Behind the battleship were more than a dozen cruisers, and more than 200 muzzles were also aimed at Zhenjiang City.

"Please look over there again!"

He pointed to the other side again.

Countless artillery soldiers were busy there, dragging a heavy 18-pound cannon toward the cannon position. On those cannon positions, more than a dozen of the same cannons were already set up, and they raised their guns to Zhenjiang City, and could shoot ferocious shells at any time.

This is still from the Datong Army.

Although the 10,000-jin cannon cannons cannot be transported to the battlefield for the time being because they are too heavy, the Datong Army's 18-jin cannons in Yuhuatai cannons cannons cannons that can be mobilized and can be transported to Xiaguan Wharf and loaded onto a ship. In fact, the 10,000-jin cannons have also been removed from the cannon fort, but they are still making gun mounts and double wheels for them. Moreover, wooden tracks must be laid in advance when dragged to Xiaguan Wharf, so it takes a certain amount of time.

But it's not impossible to move.

The twelve 10,000-pound giant cannons are very useful. Next, the bastions outside Suzhou have to be blasted open. It has to be said that Zhang Mingzhen solved a considerable problem for Governor Yang.

"Our Tiger Force is united..."

Ge Lin said excitedly.

“We have two hundred thousand people.”

Li Zicheng said calmly.

Ge Lin was speechless and could only continue to stare at him with anger, while Li Zicheng continued to smile. It was obvious that he had found the feeling of sitting in the Golden Palace for a few twenty years later and facing the nobles.

"Hundreds of thousands of athletes in Zhenjiang City..."

The scholar wearing a blue shirt next to him said with a stern look on his face.

"There are millions next to you, and there are millions in Nanjing."

Li Zicheng said calmly.

The latter retreated.

"We have thousands of loyalty and righteousness in Jiangnan..."

Another scholar of the same person said proudly.

"Your Jiangnan Zhongyi is opening the city gate for us. Do you want to send you to Jurong to see? Before I came, the people there had already opened the city gate to welcome the cavalry of Xiaoling Guard into the city."

Li Zicheng said.

The latter wailed in grief and anger, probably his family belonged to Jurong.

However, Jurong's Huwei Army did surrender.

Although there were 4,000 Tiger Powerful Army there, the ones who took over Jurong were 20,000 Nanjing New Army and 10,000 loyal and brave army. Before the defenders could make a decision on whether to fight to the end, the people in the city couldn't wait to open the city gate.

What else can the defenders do?

Hesitantly left the city and surrendered!

"Everyone, you can see that you are all from a wealthy family. You have been well-read since childhood and are all knowledgeable. Then I don't understand. Even those like me who were still a postman a year and a half ago know that you have lost. What are you still entangled with?

Do you think that someone will come to save you at this time?

Who will come to save you?

Which group in Suzhou or those in Songjiang? Or Lu Zhaoxiong from Jiangbei?

No matter who you are counting on, as long as you dare to resist, you don’t want to see them alive. The young one is just a messenger, and you can just pass on the message. I didn’t want to talk nonsense, but I am a kind person and don’t want to watch you die. I would like to advise you to understand, you have already lost.

Then give up honestly!

In that way, you will be able to save your life and your money. After all, you are not a traitor.

But resistance is gone.

The money and life are gone. As for the land, your land is gone. It’s a big deal to struggle in such an lonely city!

Then give me a good word, whether to fight or not? If you don’t fight, then open the city gate honestly and line up to disarm. If you fight, I will turn around and leave the city immediately. You will wash your neck and wait for beheading your head! Don’t pretend here, and be united? Believe it or not, you dare to resist. You can open the city gate for us without the darkness of the people in the city?

Get it happy.

In a word, fight or not!"

Li Zicheng said contemptuously.

"You guys are against..."

Ge Lin, who was actually humiliated by a postman, roared angrily.

Then a scholar next to him instantly covered his mouth. Ge Lin angrily tried to pull his hand away, but then the other two scholars next to him hugged him, and someone was calling the soldiers to drag their commander away quickly, so that they would not talk nonsense here. If they angered the former postman and went back to slander, it would be troublesome.

"That means no more fight?"

Li Zicheng looked at them with interest and said.

"No, no, no, this brother is right, it's all for His Majesty the Emperor, why are you fighting?"

A scholar whispered with a smile on his face.

"Highlights, I didn't hear it!"

Li Zicheng said arrogantly.

"This brother, please go back and report to Duke Yingguo, saying that the previous blocking of the Zhongyong Army was all Ge Lin, the people of Zhenjiang were willing to incorporate into Zhaoyi City, and the Huwei Army was willing to disarm. Welcome the Zhongyong Army!"

The man endured the humiliation and lowered his head and said with a bowed groan.

It is estimated that in history, he also welcomed Jiannu like this when he shaved his hair and changed his clothes, but fortunately, Li Zicheng didn't need him to kneel down to greet him.

"Haha, they are all sensible, I thought they weren't sensible!"

Li Zicheng said with a smile.

Then he turned around and left with a laugh.

The gentry behind looked at each other in humiliation, followed by a sound of lamentation. Some people simply sat directly on the city wall as if they were exhausted. It was obvious that the result of the failure after struggling for so many years was still a bit unacceptable.

But then the cheers of the people in the city...
Chapter completed!
